This event attracts some of the best <br />landscape painters from primarily the West Coast. Following four <br />days of plein air (outdoor) painting throughout the Columbia River <br />George (July 30th - August 2rd), there will be a juried exhibition <br />(Opening August 4th) that will hang throughout the month of August <br />2018. Throughout the event, there will be workshops and seminars. I <br />am requesting funds to support my participation in the event. <br />Having participated in the event in 2015, 1 know how beneficial it is to <br />be surrounded by exceptional painters with decades more <br />experience than I in such a striking natural landscape. The intensity <br />of the few days of painting, will inevitably strengthen my artistic voice <br />and lead to new opportunities and connections in the art world. Since <br />I participated last, the event has grown and the exhibition is now <br />hosted by the Maryhill Museum. Taking part in a museum exhibition <br />will be a great stride forward in my career. <br />I will be in Oregon for a total of 8 days surrounding the event. A rental <br />car will be critical to allow me to pack up painting supplies and <br />access scenic locations all over the region during the event. I am <br />seeking funds to support airfare to Portland, Oregon, a rental car for <br />the week surrounding the event, Air Bnb accommodations for a <br />portion of my time there, additional painting and framing supplies, <br />and return shipping costs. <br />Community Impact Although the event takes place across the country, I will bring back <br />with me newly refined skills to share with the Orange County <br />community. I teach expressive landscape painting at The Arts Center <br />and will introduce new knowledge, techniques, and experience that I <br />gain from the Pacific Northwest Plein Air painting event to future <br />classes that I teach. I will also bring back work to exhibit in local <br />galleries and exhibition spaces (including Eno Gallery who currently <br />represents my work). <br />Artist Experience I have been painting an exhibiting work since 2010. 1 discovered my <br />love for plein air painting in 2015 after doing a painting per day during <br />a cross - country road trip. Since then, I have taken part in several <br />plein air events including a previous Pacific Northwest Plein Air Event <br />and last year's Orange County's Paint It Orange event at which I won <br />'Honorable Mention'. The great thing about plein air painting is that <br />learn something new each time, and given the intensity of plein air <br />painting events, I grow immensely. <br />Budgeted Expense <br />Budgeted Income <br />13bfd731- c786- 4f8f- a70c- 80dab3ce903c.xlsx <br />Resumes of artists /administrators <br />art_resumecv_2018_2_page.pdf <br />
